"Justice for Creation: Christian Environmental Justice" offers a powerful exploration of the intersection between Christian faith and environmental justice. This timely book reclaims the biblical mandate for creation care while addressing the moral urgency of today's ecological crises.
Drawing from rich theological traditions and contemporary environmental science, the book builds a compelling case that caring for creation is not optional for Christians but essential to authentic discipleship. Readers will discover how Scripture consistently emphasizes humanity's responsibility to tend and protect the natural world as an expression of love for both Creator and neighbor.
The book tackles challenging issues including climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental racism, and resource extraction through a distinctly Christian lens. It moves beyond simple environmental conservation to address the systemic injustices that disproportionately impact vulnerable communities worldwide.
With both scholarly depth and practical wisdom, "Justice for Creation" equips readers to integrate environmental justice into their spiritual lives, church communities, and public witness. Each chapter combines theological reflection with concrete action steps for individuals and congregations seeking to live more faithfully in relationship with all creation.
